THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY, S. C. it ir ir ■*- ■***★•*•**■*•■*- Serve Fruit-in-Season for Health! (See recipes below) Fruit in the Diet Perhaps yours is one of those fam ilies which don’t seem to require much in the way of dessert. This does appear to solve your menu planning, but it really doesn’t solve a dietary problem. One of the rules set down by nutri tion authorities is that two fruits must be included in the daily diet ary. One of these fruits, preferably the citrus vari- ety, may be worked in at breakfast, but that leaves one other fruit for one of the other meals. If your family tends to gain weight easily, serve this fruit in its natural state — as a fresh apple, pear, cluster of grapes, etc. In this way you will not be adding any additional calories by serving the fruit with sugar, cream, syrup, or any other highly caloric foods. Should the family readily reach and attain its normal weight, you can easily serve fruit baked with sweetening, in puddings or in cakes. Or, if you have members in your family who must have richer, satis fying foods because they work hard, serve desserts like this frequently because they will not only gain starches and sugars from it, but also take in their fruit requirement. Baked apples are a simple des sert to serve at this time of year, especially when they’re pepped up with lemon. If you want to dcld something more substantial to the dessert of this lovely fruit, use gin gerbread which has been flavored with 2 teaspoons of grated orange rind added to the batter just after mixing. *Lemon Baked Apples.

By VIRGINIA VALE W HEN George Burns and Gracie Allen shared a nine- week bill at New York’s Palace theater with Eddie Cantor and George Jessel they had reached the very top in vaudeville; doing a couple of guest shots on Can- j tor’s radio program was a mere sideline. But two months later a new career got under way; they were starred with Guy Lombardo on an air show—just fifteen years ago come February 22. That same year they began their movie career in Gracie and George “The Big Broadcast of 1932.” Sur veying 15 years of success, they don’t hesitate in picking out the high lights of their lives, the August day in 1934 when they adopted a baby girl, and the day a year later when they adopted a boy. Kenny Baker will realize a life long ambition very soon. The star of “The Kenny Baker Show” (Amer ican Broadcasting Co., Mondays through Fridays,) will record an eight-side album of religious songs, which will include his favorite, “The Lord’s Prayer.” * Remember those six Goldwyn Girls who’ve been traveling hither and yon, wearing beautiful clothes and looking lovely? They’re mak ing a two-month tour of 38 Latin American cities at present; began by dining with Cary Grant and How ard Hughes in Mexico City, watch ing a bull-fight, and being officially greeted by Mayor Casas Aleman. * Ever since “The Spoilers” was made some 16 years ago, the fight between William Farnum and Tom Santschi has been considered as the greatest two-man battle of all time, when veteran movie critics get to gether. But at RKO they claim that the scrap between Lawrence Tier ney and Barton MacLane in “San Quentin” tops it. It was rehearsed for five days, runs for a reel and a half as the picture’s climax. Paramount’s new release, “Sud denly It’s Spring,” features two “Great Gildersleeve” air actresses in support of Paulette Goddard and Fred MacMurray. They’re Frances (Eva Goodwin) Robinson and Geor gia Backus, who plays a maid on the air show. Radio comedy shows usually grow from either situations or gags. But not the highly successful “Fibber McGee and Molly”; Don Quinn, the writer, gets humor out of homely, run of the mill situations in a way that no one else can master, appar ently. After more than a decade of being funny once a week, he con tinues to produce the highest quality scripts—topping the Hoover polls! When Director Vincent Sherman told Kent Smith how to hoodwink his inquisitive wife regarding “the other woman” in a scene for “Nora Prentiss,” Smith said “I know what you mean. When I was in the army I played in a picture called ‘Resist ing Enemy Interrogation.’ ” To reproduce the popular dances of 1880 Paris for “The Private Af fairs of Bel Ami” Director Albert Lewin studied old books and old paintings—and finally said he might as well just have consulted a jit terbug expert, because that’s what the dances looked like when filmed. The pretty skating instructor who taught Alan Young to ice-skate for “Margie” visited the comic’s air show the other night. A couple of other chaps in the cast tried to move right in—but it was Alan who took her out for a soda when the show was over. * ODDS AND ENDS—-That recent "dis appearance" of Virginia Mayo’s couldn’t have been tamer—she fust registered with her mother at a Palm Springs hotel, un der her own name, Virginia Jones, only she forgot to notify the studio. ...

Grace Matthews succeeds Mer cedes McCambridge as "Big Sister." Woman's World » Choose Nightgowns and Robes With Eye to Harmonious Color 8u Crtta. Mate \/f ANY women, no matter how ^ carefully they choose their daytime dresses, choose their own personal lingerie haphazardly. They will have an assortment of gowns or pajamas that look like they came from a table of broken colors and sizes, and their robes or lounging apparel have no color or fabric har mony with the other garments. Fastidious women, on the other hand, choose their personal lingerie with as much care as they do their dresses. They bear in mind the col or of their gowns when they choose robes, and they try to have some color harmony in their choice of lingerie. The latter program does not cost any more than a haphazard one, but it does give you a chance to feel well dressed, and you can never be accused of looking dowdy around the house. Since slips, gowns and robes are still in the luxury class as far as consumer goods are concerned, and because sizes are still a problem with limited selection, it might be a good idea to make your own. You probably have old formals which would make up into attractive neg ligees, and it’s an easy matter to select a matching or harmonizing fabric to make up into a gown. Try to plan at least one good looking set—for reasons of your own personal morale—for Sunday morn ings or for the mpming that you lounge around the house. You and your family will appreciate the change immensely. Slip Problems Solved By Home Sewing You’ve never thought of making your own slips? Well, neither did a lot of other women until they found themselves overcome with short ages that simply would not take care of their size and fabric require ments. Now they wouldn’t think of buying the finished garment until Select gowns and robes ... they can be well fitted and be as sured well constructed garments within their budgets. Good needlework makes luxury underwear even if the pattern used is simple. And need I say that well sewed garments will launder per fectly a countless number of times and still look as though they came out new and unworn? You may select sheer cotton or some of the lovely rayons for your slips. Select and fit the pattern of the slip as carefully as you would sew a dress. A little attention to this will repay you well in wear- ability. There need never be any seam slippage in slips you make at home. Allow sufficient material to make a good seam, buy fabrics that are tested for strength and durability, and cover seams to prevent ravel ing. Use a flat fell or French seam which allows no loose edges outside the garment, and the seam slip page problem is easily solved. These slips will outwear most others. Tips on Selecting Gowns For Matching Robes Let’s assume that you have an old formal which you are planning to make into a robe. What should the gown be like to harmonize with To contrast or match each other. the robe? If the robe is of a solid color, the gown to go with this should be in a contrasting but at tractive color. If the robe is to be a print, select one of the colors in Fashion showings in New York re cently brought out something new in sleeves. This picturesque note for spring has the “Lady Winder- mere” influence. the print to go with the gown. If you are making pajamas to contrast with the robe, use the above plan, or if you wish to make the whole set look as though it really belonged together, do this: Choose a good sturdy material for the pajamas in a shade to contrast with the robe, then pipe the sleeves and the opening in the front with some of the same material used in the robe. Gowns and pajamas are best made in the light or pastel colors, and should be well constructed to permit easy launderability. Remem ber, too, that these qre practical garments above all other considera tions, and should be made loose enough to be comfortable for sleep ing. Too many fancy gadgets on them prevent comfortable sleeping, and also increase the fussing that must go into their laundering. If you are making contrasting col ored bindings on them you will do well to baste before you actually do the permanent stitching, as there should be no slip-ups which will cause fraying later. Lace and ruffles are best applied by hand with small, careful stitches. Hide the stitching if you really want the garment professionally turned out. If you are making a quilted robe, it’s possible to buy material already quilted. This is then simply cut out according to a pattern and put to gether as instructed. The thing to remember here is to have the gar ment sewed carefully, adjusting the stitching to take care of the heavier material. You may make your own quilting, if desired, with a special attach ment on your machine. Material to put in between the lining and out side covering is now generally available. Simpler robes for warmer weath er may be made of light sheer cot tons such as dotted swiss, organdie and lawn. Allow plenty of room for seams, look for permanent-finish materials, and you will have sev eral years of good wear from these clothes. Choose Your Style No matter whether you are choosing daytime or evening clothes, hide your weak points by following these clothes tips given by fashion-wise experts: For narrow or sloping shoul ders, select well padded shoul der treatments that give you broadness. The square, padded shoulder line is best. For broad shoulders, do every thing to cut the broad shoulder line and concentrate on raglan or dolman sleeves. Use little pad ding. Flat chested figures require soft treatment about the neck and bust. The ruffles and soft lace effects are for these girls, and they can be very charming. For full busted figures use ver tical fines and the “V” neck treatment. Contrasting colors from shoulder to waist are very effective also. Small waistlines may wear high treatments in dresses. Pep- lums and broad, bright colored belts also are recommended. For thin or heavy arms, wear soft treatment sleeves. Avoid particularly the too-tight sleeves. Fashion Forecast Gowns show body sculpturing, very definitely, and the bustle treat ment is still a favorite. Lace, cobwebby woolens afffl silk tissue are some of the luxury fab rics which are coming into fash ion for the spring and summer. They are really exquisite, and the dresses are designed to show off the fabric at its best. Berthas, scarves and sashes are in the news again as more fabric is available for designers to play with. The new sleeves you have on your clothes may be of infinite variety. You may push them up or blouse them, or you may make them hark back to history by putting billowy ruffles and lace on them.
